"At Olmos ... Citizens!" seeks to reintroduce the figure of the elm in the center of large squares and streets where there is still space occupied by the old elm disease killed by DED (Ophiostoma novo-ulmi). To do this, use a variety of the disease-resistant elm, and equally resistant to soil and climatic conditions. In addition, the external appearance of the variety of resistant elm is exactly like the common elm, and their growth, color and leaf shape, and shadow that are identical to those of the old elm tree, so that social acceptance is very high, and there were no differences between the variety of elm and elm resistant common.
The resistant elm, Ulmus known in nurseries as Nangan "Lutece" is a cross between various species of native English and European elms, and has been tested for 20 years until its commercialization in the 2002. "
